The triplets had their 6 month checkup, and here is how it went:
Addison Grace: She remains the longest baby, and is very long for a regular 6 month old baby. She is 26 5/8 incles long, coming in at 85 %percentile, and 17lbs 3 oz coming in at 88%percentile in weight. She is a BIG girl, probably going to be taller than her mama!! Poor thing, she will never wear heels. She is rolling all around, that is how she gets places. Not too interested in trying to crawl. She does want to sit up from the lying position soooo badly. She is starting to figure out, you lean to the side to get up on her own. She is babbling, and says Dada....and a bunch of other jibberish. She seems to be the baby everyone admires. She is a pretty little baby, and has been filmed and pictures are being used for advertisments. I think part of the admiration is she is so easy going. She will go with anyone, and go anywhere. Just like her mama was when she was a baby too!!
Taylor Katherine: My smallest (shortest now) is actually the heaviest (for her height). She weighs 18 lbs and is 90% percentile in weight, and she is 25 3/4 inches long, which is 50%percentile in length. She has the biggest and most rolls of the three. She loves to eat, and will keep eating even when she has that glazed over look of fullness! She was seeming to do everything last, but she decided to be the first one to get a tooth. That night was AWFUL!! She woke every hour, and I kept thinking she was gassy.....my poor baby (The Dr. told me they were NOT teething). Anyway, she also decided to outdo Tripp, who has been sitting up very well on his own. He wasn't quite there, and she just decides one day that she is going to be first on getting it down! She sat and never fell over again. She babbled last though, and calls for her mama!! We call her miss grumpy, because she doesn't like strangers or going places AT ALL!! She has severe stranger anxiety right now.
Tripp Douglas: He is definitely the biggest baby overall. He is stocky and weighs the most. He is just so solid, just like his big brother Cameron was. He weighs in at 18lbs 14 oz, which is 75% percentile, and he is 25 5/8 inches long (which is 45% percentile in height). Taylor started to close in on him, because she was eating solids the best at first. He eats the best now, opens his mouth nice and wide!! It's much better than the close the mouth and pucker up like a fish, very hard to get a spoon through that!! He is definitely the more advanced of the babies. He held up his head, was sitting up, he is trying to crawl, and he started babbling saying "Mama" first and now 'Dada" and other similar sounding sounds. Tripp is easy going when he feels like it. He really is easy going as a baby, but he does NOT like to be messed with. He also is a destroyer of toys, and has a very BAD temper. Rob thinks Cameron is a challenge, let's about this one when he is a toddler!!
The babies are doing wonderfully, and have pretty much caught up to other full term babies. They definitely have surpassed them on the weight scale. No problems with eating for these babies. We had them evaluated to make sure they were progressing fine, and they are. We hope everyone enjoys the babies pictures since I have updated the Blog and the website
